Board games give your brain a Faster, Higher, Stronger workout. Playing board games exercises memory and cognitive skills and can help reduce cognitive decline. Exercising your brain will help it to stay fit and to become even stronger.
Board games are a great way to spend quality time with family and friends. Hosting a Coffee Table Olympics will build social and emotional bonds with a shared experience that is fun and entertaining.
Playing board games can lower your blood pressure, reduce stress and boost your immune system. Those brain chemicals that are stimulated during play don't just impact your brain. Both your mind and your body will benefit from the workout.
There has been lots of research, both scientific and archeological, about board games. Board games are even studied in relationship to A.I. (artificial intelligence). You don’t need a degree or a research grant, though, to enjoy playing or benefiting from playing a board game. All you need is a board game!
Planning your Coffee Table Olympics doesn’t actually require a lot of planning. It’s as easy as gathering up some friends or family, opening the box and getting started. Snacks are optional, but encouraged. If you’re into party planning, the possibilities are endless. You could set up multiple games and rotate players to new games with new players. You could even have people dress up as a board game character or to reflect the theme of a board game. Lots of fun!
So what are you waiting for? Your brain wants some exercise. Get fit. Get “Faster, Higher, Stronger”. Game on!
